#TrialByJury is not an English invention. #JuryTrial is a medieval English adaptation from Nordic & classical precedents.

But the result is one of the greatest protections against injustice. Yet after hundreds of years, the Injustice Secretary #DavidLammy wants to severely restrict juries.

#GeoffreyCox's contribution to the debate is one of the great #Commons speeches. A former #AttorneyGeneral, Cox's booming voice politely shreds the government case.

Tory desperation, screamed by #geoffreycox, is risible. He had many private jobs when a Minister, #Johnson never did any work, people like BrandonLewis, Hancock etc spent less time on politics than Tories on helping the underprivileged. Tories are disgusting. Now they grasp at straws like Starmer's few hours with his family on occasion. #ToriesOut #TacticalVoting
